A class of drugs that are used to treat high blood pressure and other cardiovascular conditions. These drugs also improve EF. Coreg, also known as carvedilol, is a beta-blocking medication that was approved for the treatment of mild and moderate heart failure in May 1997.

Beta blocking drugs are used to block the action of beta receptors on the nerve endings that affect heart rate and the strength of contraction of the heart. The goal of these drugs is to reduce oxygen demand by decreasing heart rate and the strength or force of contraction. This drug is used in the treatment of angina and hypertension, many times in combination with nitrates. Commonly used beta blockers include Inderal¨ , Lopressor¨ , and Tenormin¨ . Occasional side effects includes fatigue, nausea, dizziness, headache, depression, and decreased sexual drive.

A class of drugs used to treat heart disease and high blood pressure. These drugs lower blood pressure and slow the heart rate. They were discovered accidentally to also be useful for preventing migraine headaches.

one kind of medicine used to treat hypertension, chest pain, and irregular heartbeat, and to help prevent future heart attacks — Beta blockers work by blocking the effects of adrenaline in various parts of the body. They work on the heart to relieve stress to the heart so that it requires less blood and oxygen. The heart doesn't have to work as hard, which lowers blood pressure. Beta blockers work on blood vessels to relax the vessel walls and lower blood pressure.

a type of medication used to block the stimulation of beta-receptors in the heart by the central nervous system. This therapy is used to lower a person's blood pressure and heart rate and to treat angina.

Medicine used to lower blood pressure, treat chest pain and heart failure, and to help prevent a heart attack. Beta blockers relieve the stress on the heart by slowing the heart rate and reducing the force with which the heart muscles contract to pump blood.

Drugs often used after a heart attack to relieve stress on the heart by "blocking" the stimulating effect of the hormone adrenaline. When adrenaline is blocked, the heart rate slows and irregular heartbeats are prevented. Beta blockers also are used to reduce high blood pressure and can prevent both sudden death and recurrent heart attacks. Beta blockers are the mainstay drug for treating angina pectoris.

an agent capable of blocking nerve impulses to special sites in the brain. Beta blockers, which reduce heartbeat rate and the force of the heart's contractions, are prescribed to treat high blood pressure.
